Not sure that this is exactly in the right category but ah well.
Just wondering if anyone else is going to the S.O.S. camp in Adelaide in July?
The website is

Copied the following if you don't want to click links ;p
"Each year students, community members, Indigenous
activists, academics, public intellectuals, environmental educators and
social change agents of all stripes and from all over Australia are
invited to participate.
There is a range of educational, practical and
participatory forums, workshops, excursions, entertainment and lots of
time drinking chai with new friends. "
"Specific knowledge, skills, contacts and networks
derived through the week will empower in a variety of ways unique to
the particular individual. Skills workshops, including campaign
strategy, lobbying, organising, facilitation, political and recycled
art, gardening, home-made clothes and DIY renewable energy will empower
participants in a diversity of practical skills. Empowerment through
knowledge will also be a key focus with popular education
(participatory) techniques to be encouraged throughout the conference
(see program for more details). "
There's a group at my Uni doing Vegan/Vegetarian bake sales to raise funds to go at the moment, thought that there might be some interested folks on here
